Re: [DML] Re: "Fastest" DeLoreans (Marc and Martin)

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, Martin, I think the claim was 210 WHP without
the Nitrous..  240 WHP with it.

Do you think 210 WHP (that would mean maybe 270HP at
the crank!!) is possible from a Non-forced induction,
Non-Nitrous PRV??

Like I said, I am skeptical.
